Abstract
A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and hotspot management computing apparatus that receives a JavaScript Object Notation with Padding (JSONP) request from a client computing device, wherein the JSONP request comprises an identifier associated with a selected hotspot associated with an image of a first web page. A HyperText Markup Language (HTML) fragment is generated based on the identifier, wherein the HTML fragment defines a first description associated with the hotspot and an input element associated with a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of a second web page including a second description associated with the hotspot. The HTML fragment is sent to the requesting client computing device.
